We discuss spectral properties of the family of quartic oscillators $\mathfrak h_{\mathcal M}(\alpha) =-\frac{d^2}{dt^2} +\Big(\frac{1}{2} t^{2} -\alpha\Big)^2$ on the real line, where $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter. This operator…

We consider the nonlinear stationary Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta u -\lambda u= Q(x)|u|^{p-2}u, \qquad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N \end{equation*} in the case where $N \geq 3$, $p$ is a superlinear, subcritical exponent, $Q$…

The principal eigenvalue for linear elliptic operator has been known to be one of very useful tools to investigate many important partial differential equations. Due to the pioneering works of Berestycki et al. \cite{BCV1,BCV2}, the study…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and let $m$ be a possibly discontinuous and unbounded function that changes sign in $\Omega$. Let $f:\left[ 0,\infty\right) \rightarrow\left[ 0,\infty\right) $ be a continuous…

The goal of this note is to study the spectrum of a self-adjoint convolution operator in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with an integrable kernel that is perturbed by an essentially bounded real-valued potential tending to zero at infinity. We show…

For any 0 < alpha <2, a truncated symmetric alpha-stable process is a symmetric Levy process in R^d with a Levy density given by c|x|^{-d-alpha} 1_{|x|< 1} for some constant c. In this paper we study the potential theory of truncated…

We study a class of multi-dimensional non-local conservation laws of the form $\partial_t u = \operatorname{div}^{\Phi} \mathbf{F}(u)$, where the standard local divergence $\operatorname{div}$ of the flux vector $\mathbf{F}(u)$ is replaced…

We derive the probability density function of the positive occupation time of one-dimensional Brownian motion with two-valued drift. Long time asymptotics of the density are also computed. We use the result to describe the transitional…

We consider the following class of fractional parametric problems \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta_{Dir})^{s} u= f(x, u)+t\varphi_{1}+h &\mbox{ in } \Omega\\ u=0 &\mbox{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{array} \right.…

We perform the spectral analysis of a family of Jacobi operators $J(\alpha)$ depending on a complex parameter $\alpha$. If $|\alpha|\neq1$ the spectrum of $J(\alpha)$ is discrete and formulas for eigenvalues and eigenvectors are established…

In this paper we prove the existence of at least one positive solution for the nonlocal semipositone problem \[ \displaystyle \left\{\begin{array}{rcll} (-\Delta)_p^s(u) &=& \lambda f(u) \qquad & \text{in} \ \ \Omega \\u &=& 0 & \text{in} \…

In this paper we study the eigenvalue problems for a nonlocal operator of order $s$ that is analogous to the local pseudo $p-$Laplacian. We show that there is a sequence of eigenvalues $\lambda_n \to \infty$ and that the first one is…

We consider perturbations of nonlinear eigenvalue problems driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential. We consider both sublinear and superlinear perturbations and we determine how the set of positive…

Let $q\ge 1$ be an integer. Given $M$ samples of a smooth function of $q$ variables, $2\pi$--periodic in each variable, we consider the problem of constructing a $q$--variate trigonometric polynomial of spherical degree $\O(M^{1/q})$ which…

We revisit the existence and stability of the critical front in the extended Fisher-KPP equation, refining earlier results of Rottsch\"afer and Wayne [28] which establish stability of fronts without identifying a precise decay rate. We…

We study the positivity and asymptotic behaviour of nonnegative solutions of a general nonlocal fast diffusion equation, \[\partial_t u + \mathcal{L}\varphi(u) = 0,\] and the interplay between these two properties. Here $\mathcal{L}$ is a…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, and let $-\Delta $ be its Laplace-Beltrami operator. For any bounded scalar potential $q$, we denote by $\lambda\_i(q)$ the $i$-th eigenvalue of the Schr\"{o}dinger type…

We study the existence, multiplicity, and certain qualitative properties of solutions to the zero Dirichlet problem for the equation $-\Delta_p u = \lambda |u|^{p-2}u + a(x)|u|^{q-2}u$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$,…

Within the context of the functional renormalization group flow of gravity, we suggest that a generic f(R) ansatz (i.e. not truncated to any specific form, polynomial or not) for the effective action plays a role analogous to the local…
